A compact and low power control of photonic crystal nanocavity resonance was devised, simulated, and experimentally validated utilizing a hybrid integration of a microelectromechanical systems driven nanoprobe. The experimental results demonstrated a reversible resonance tuning up to 5.4 nm with minimal Q-factor degradation.
